Lonely Planet review for Gran Casino Murcia

Murcia's resplendent casino first opened as a gentlemen's club in 1847. Beyond the decorative facade, completed in 1901, are an Arab-style vestibule and a patio. Penetrate as far as the magnificent ballroom and pop €1.00 in the slot for the 320 lamps of its candelabra to shimmer with light as Strauss's Radetsky March wafts from all corners.

    After a long delay the Casino is open again and restored its former glory. It has been well worth the wait. Much of the original workmanship survives and as soon as you walk through the door another world awaits you. The ballroom at the centre in naturally impressive but it is the reading room and library that is most breathtaking with its wonderful wood decoration.
